69: Chapter 69 The Long-Legged Mature Woman is Too Straightforward! The Heavenly Water Saint Lord's Vicious Scheme!

Tianshui Holy Land, Guest Welcoming Hall.

The air seemed to have frozen.

Xiao Yuhan sat upright in the main seat, her long legs wrapped in a slim-fitting Daoist robe crossed casually, exuding an unquestionable Aura of a mature beauty.

She looked coldly at Holy Lord Tianshui below. Her vermilion lips parted slightly, but the words she spat out were like a barrage of cannon fire, leaving this Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse speechless.

“You say they are remnants of the Demonic Path's Hehuan Sect?”

“Where is the evidence?”

“Did you see them harvesting living people? Or did you see them cultivating Demonic Techniques?”

Holy Lord Tianshui's face flushed red. He held it in for a long time before saying, “Lord envoy, those three words 'Hehuan Sect' are ironclad evidence! Eight hundred years ago...”

“A name is not worth a damn as evidence!”

Xiao Yuhan interrupted him unceremoniously, her expression like she was looking at an idiot.

“There are eight hundred Schools called the Sword Sect in the Central Region; could it be they are all the same family?”

“Just because they're called 'Hehuan', they must be Demonic Path? I see that Sunset City is managed in an orderly fashion, and the commoners live and work in peace. It's much better than your lifeless Tianshui Holy Land!”

At this point, Xiao Yuhan suddenly stood up. Her 1.2-meter long legs stepped down the stairs, every step carrying an aggressive Aura.

“On the contrary, it's you, Holy Lord Tianshui.”

“As the Righteous Path leader of the Southern Wasteland Region, during these past few hundred years, the Southern Wasteland Region has been in a foul state. There have even been repeated atrocities where Mortal cities sacrificed young boys and girls to the Yao Race just to survive!”

“Jin Wanshan, that giant rat, has been colluding with the Yao Race for decades. You didn't know?”

“Or rather... was this done with your tacit permission?”

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Holy Lord Tianshui. He hurriedly defended himself, “Lord envoy, I am being wronged! The Southern Wasteland Region is vast, and I have moments of negligence...”

“A single 'negligence' and that's it?”

Xiao Yuhan snorted coldly, the light of justice flickering in her beautiful eyes.

“I will report this matter truthfully to the Alliance after I return!”

“I'll charge you with the crime of ineffective governance and indulging the Yao disaster!”

“As for that Hehuan Sect of Cangwu Mountain...”

She looked around, her voice cold and firm.

“In my view, they killed a Yao Emperor and protected the region; they are meritorious officials!”

“As long as no concrete evidence of the Demonic Path can be produced, anyone who dares to touch them is slapping the face of my Righteous Path Alliance! It would be a false accusation!”

After saying this, Xiao Yuhan didn't even look at Holy Lord Tianshui's face, which was darker than the bottom of a pot.

With a wave of her delicate hand, her green Flying Sword unsheathed.

“I still have other places to inspect. Farewell!”

Whoosh—!

A green rainbow soared into the sky and disappeared over the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a group of Elders in the hall staring at each other and trembling.

...

“Bastard!!!”

Boom!

As soon as Xiao Yuhan left, Holy Lord Tianshui finally exploded.

He slammed his palm onto the ten-thousand-year-old agarwood table beside him. The entire table, along with the floor, instantly turned into powder.

A terrifying Soul Transformation Stage pressure swept through the entire hall, forcing all the Nascent Soul Elders to kneel on the ground, not even daring to breathe.

“Too much! This is simply too much!”

Holy Lord Tianshui's face was contorted, the fire of fury in his eyes seemingly enough to burn the Nine Heavens.

“A mere little girl at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul, relying on the prestige of the Righteous Path Alliance, actually dares to point at my nose and scold me?”

“She even wants to charge me with a crime?”

“And she wants to protect that Hehuan Sect?”

If Xiao Yuhan really went back and reported to the Righteous Path Alliance, Tianshui Holy Land's dominant position in the Southern Wasteland Region would surely be shaken, and even his position as the Holy Lord might become unstable!

“Holy Lord, please calm your anger...”

A trusted Grand Elder tremblingly raised his head: “What do we do now? She is, after all, an envoy of the Righteous Path Alliance. We...”

Holy Lord Tianshui took a deep breath. The fire in his eyes gradually cooled, replaced by a spine-chilling malice.

“So what if she's an envoy of the Righteous Path Alliance?”

“This is the Southern Wasteland Region! It's a remote, godforsaken place!”

“Countless Cultivators on training missions die here every year.”

He turned around, his cold gaze locking onto two black-robed old men in the corner.

These two had gloomy Auras. Although they didn't show off, the Aura that occasionally leaked out was actually that of Late Nascent Soul Stage experts!

These were the death-sworn Elders secretly trained by Tianshui Holy Land—Hei Feng and Hei Sha.

“Hei Feng, Hei Sha.”

Holy Lord Tianshui's voice was low like a ghost's:

“The two of you, follow her quietly.”

“That girl might have a sharp tongue, but she's only at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul. The two of you working together will be enough to suppress and kill her in a short time.”

“Remember!”

“Do it cleanly!”

“It's best... to kill her using methods similar to the Demonic Path!”

“Once she's dead, take the body to the vicinity of Cangwu Mountain using sword-kinesis, five hundred miles away!”

“When the time comes...”

A cruel sneer curled at the corner of Holy Lord Tianshui's mouth:

“The envoy of the Righteous Path Alliance died tragically in the territory of the Hehuan Sect, and the death was gruesome, suspected to be the work of Demonic Techniques.”

“The Hehuan Sect will have to take the blame whether they want to or not!”

“At that time, the Righteous Path Alliance will be thunderously furious. I won't even need to lift a finger; the Hehuan Sect will be razed to the ground!”

“And I will also be able to clear my name through this!”

Two birds with one stone!

Elders Hei Feng and Hei Sha looked at each other, a bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.

“The Holy Lord is wise!”

“Your subordinates will handle it immediately!”

“Jie jie jie... I haven't tasted a Central Region female Cultivator with such tender skin yet...”

Swish!

Two streaks of black smoke silently escaped the hall, chasing after the direction Xiao Yuhan had left at extreme speed.

Watching the direction the three had left, Holy Lord Tianshui sat back on his throne, the gloom on his face completely gone.

“Xiao Yuhan, oh Xiao Yuhan.”

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too straightforward.”

“In this Cultivation World, people with too much sense of justice...”

“...often die the fastest!”

...

Hundreds of miles away, high in the sky.

Xiao Yuhan was traveling on her sword, and her mood was originally quite good.

But suddenly, her intuition as a Sword Cultivator gave a frantic warning, and a chill ran down her back.

“Hmm?”

“Someone is following me?”

She turned her head abruptly, looking at the seemingly calm clouds behind her, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

“Sneaky, and with killing intent locked on.”

Instead of panicking, Xiao Yuhan stopped her Light Flight. Her long legs took a step into the void, and the long sword in her hand let out a clear dragon's cry.

“Just as well, I have a belly full of fire with nowhere to vent.”

“Since you're rushing to your deaths...”

“Then I'll use you to sacrifice to my sword!”
